Description
UNITED STATES PATENT Critica SAMUEL SAUUERMAN, OF FREEPORT, ILRlNOIS.
' IMPROVED APPLE CORER AND SLICER.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SAMUEL SAUCERMAN, of Freeport, in the county of Stephenson and State of Illinois, have invented a new and lmproved Implement for Goring and Quartering Apples; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figun'e l represents a longitudinal vertical central section of this invention, taken in the plane indicated by the line xm, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is an inverted plan of the saine.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.
The object of this invention is a simple, cheap, and eective device by which apples, after the same have been pared, can be cored and quartered by one operation and with little loss of time.
The improvement consists of a tube or circular cutter, made of tin or other suitable material, slightly tapering from the cutting-edge up and pointed, with four straight knives or wings projecting from its circumference at right angles to each other,in combination with a plunger, whichserves to guide the tubular cutter, while passing through the apple, in such a manner that by placing an apple on a platform, stem down, with the point of the plunger upon the blow, and depressing the cutter with a quick motion, the operation of coring and slicingis performed with great ease and rapidity.
A represents the tubular cutter, which is made of tinned sheet-iron, or any other suitable material, slightly taperingfrom the cuttingedge up, as clearly shown in Fig. lof the drawings, so that the cores will readily discharge from it. From the periphery of this tubular cutter project four or more wings, B, at right anglesto each other, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The lower edges ot these wings are sharp, so that the same will readily pass through the apple, and their number, height, and width is made according to the size ot' apples to be sliced. They are held in position by a top plate, D, which is secured to the tubular cutter or corer A, and to the upper edges of said quartering-knives, as shown.
A plunger, C, ot' wood or any other suitable material, is fitted in the tubular corer A, and the lower end of this plunger is pointed, so that the same can be readily held in the cavity generally formed round the blows of apples.
The apple to be cored and sliced is laid down upon a platform or table, stein down, the point of the plunger is placed on the blow, and by depressing the corer the apple is cored and quartered by one operation. y
This implement can be made at a trilling expense, thev corer and slicing-knives being made ot' tinned sheet-iron and the plunger ot' wood, 'and when properly treated it is not liable to get out of order. 'lhe cutting-edges, when once dull, can be readily sharpened by means of a tile, and the whole device is light and easily handled.
l claim as new and .desire to secure by Letters Patent- The pointed plunger C, in combination with the pointed tubular corer A, slicing-knives B, and top plate, D, constructed and operating as and for the purpose set forth.
SAMUEL SAU() ERMAN.
